New To Folding:)

[njkid32]

Hey guys just wanted to say hi and maybe get some help with running this prog:) I followed the directions that I was given to join XS The Machine but it wasnt working so I just joined the XtremeSystems team. I also replaced the default settings with the optimized setting. I hope I am on the right track:) I am currently running on my laptop until I get my benching rig up and running. I know my little 1.5ghz Dothan wont do much crunching but it will have to do for now:( Anyway I hope my small effort helps out a little and any pointers to help optimize or how I can help out more please let me know. Thanks!

excellent, very happy to have you aboard, bro :toast:

welcome, njkid ( from AZ! :) )

sounds like you have it going good. the dothan might surprise you. they seem to do well with Rosetta.

let us know when you show up in the sats. thats' when you know, for sure, you got it setup right.

i was an nj kid myself. spent from 2nd grade til the time i went in the Army ( and a little bit after ) in jersey.

welcome to the team man!! We need all the powah we can get for the BBQ!!!

[njkid32]

Yeah I have used the njkid name for a long time even when I moved to Florida and Arizona:) I graduated from Rutgers in 1994 and moved away and havent looked back yet:) Only to talk to my sister.. LOL

Well I was trying to join the XS The Machine team but when I put the email addy in and password it wouldnt work so I just setup my own user name and joined XS team..

Personally, I prejer PA to NJ. Going to college in Indiana makes me wish I was going to school back in PA. I've lived there my entire life so far (21 years).

Welcome to the team!:toast:
I have to say Thank God you couldn't get on the XSTM sub team! They get any more members and they're going to need a size 2 font to list them all in thier sig!:D
The dothans do well. My 770 at 2567mhz does 660 a day. Not a AMD killer but decent for that little chip.
Next question: Have you run the optimised client yet?

Scroll down to the bottom right and grab this one:
http://www.bm-makler.de/setiathome/boinc/pc/Boinc_5.2.13_P4_Athlon64_SSE2.zip
Make sure you have the Boinc and Rosetta program off when you overwrite the files.( Files go to C:/ Program files/BOINC
Good Luck!:D

[mad mikee]

:YIPPIE: :woot: :toast: :up:

Corrected the minor problem :D More hoopla later :cheer2:


TO ALL XSTM:

When sending out the setup notes, CHANGE THE PASSWORD TO THE NEW ONE :hrhr: (Make it much easier for the new teammate to set up? :cool: )

Yep all set up thanks to Mike:) Thanks! As soon as I get my other rig back up and running I'll load it on there as well.

[bullet2urbrain]

welcome aboard, and keep that opty 148 in the family ( an old mafia reference)

:toast:

onward and upward.

PS: did i scare away that little green reptar?

[[XC] moddolicous]

Welcome njkid! Good to have you on the team. Any thoughts on DIMES?? If you use the same ISP as Serlv & LVdicer than its a no-go.

[mad mikee]

Speaking of which - WHERE IS OUR KAPITAN :shrug:

Rod, speak to us Rod :confused:

Thx for helping us out. Now onto bigger and better things. Lets see what you got. I expect to see some sick benchscores from your main rig :) yes we even bench rosetta :eek: I'm currently ranked the 12th fastest pc in rosetta, I expect to see you up there with me :)

Soon enough:) I have something special coming soon...

Dimes isnt out of the question yet but I am only running on my lappy right now so baby steps:) Unless I run it on my vaio p3 800mhz lappy.. LOL ewww cox.net oh well:(

LOL i use cox.net, it sux cox

[njkid32]

Ok while waiting on my other comp to get running I put another lappy on. Its only a sempy 3000 but its gonna crunch 24/7 :)

[mad mikee]

That should do fairly well :up:

Up to 4% on RR64 linux - I hope it works. Going on raptor 74G tomorrow :D

WHO ON XSTM has localhost.localdomain - if you get it to work, I WANT TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE (SO I can get mine running too :D )

[njkid32]

Hey Mike I didnt make it into your sig:( LOL

[[XC] serlv]

You're there now...

[mad mikee]

What are you talking about :wasntme:

Hmm knew I was missin sumpin.

Hey Mike I didnt make it into your sig:( LOL

[Movieman]

I told you! size 2 font!:D another week and your going to need a magnifying glass to see all the names!:slobber:

I told you! size 2 font!:D another week and your going to need a magnifying glass to see all the names!:slobber:


which is the reason i decided to only put the contact people in mine, if mine was any larger i'd get a visit from the sig police, although i dont even know who that is these days

[njkid32]

Ok I am a bit confused! Right now I am running Rosetta on 2 laptops. One is a Dothan 1.5ghz and the other is a Sempy 1.8ghz. Now the funny thing is this Sempy is doing MUCH better than my Dothan WHY? Maybe I messed up the optimized files or something. I really didnt run my Dothan much today cuz I was using it but when they were both running at the same time the Sempy was doing much better... Hmm Here are the links to the 2 comps..

Dothan (http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=187304)
Sempy (http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=188802)

[Movieman]

easy answer..look at the benchs..the sempy is killing the dothan..Rosetta favors the AMD products heavily..
You can drop an X2 3800 on a $125.00 MB, OC it to 2700 and it will pull 1300-1500 a day..
I have a DX3600/2mb/800 setup with close to $4600.00 in parts that does max 1100 a day..no justice huh?:D
My dothan at 2587 gets 650 on average a day..

[njkid32]

Yeah thats what I thought:) Not my lappy though its a neighbors and I was reloading it for them. They are gone for 2 weeks so I asked them if I could run Rosetta on it. Its for a good cause:)

[mad mikee]

Every bit counts! :up:

[njkid32]

Ok guys I just added a 165 in my bench rig and its up and running now. I had to do a few hours of stability testing just to make sure I could run it. I just picked this thing up from a forum member yesterday for errrm $45:) So I had him overnight it so I could get it up and running for today. Its coldbugged over 320 htt so I'll just be running it at 290 htt just to play it safe. So, I'll have my 2 laptops running today and my 165:) I just ran the Rosetta bench test on it and what I got was
3543 double precision MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
10663 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

How is this? Do I need to clock higher to make it run better:) Thanks guys!

I am also glad to see that the 2 guys I got to help out are already crunching #'s.... Thanks DOUIRC and OC_newbie for helping out!!!

EDIT: My 165 finally showed up on the list its #192015

[ex2cib]

what mhz is that???? im gonna take a rough guess and say 2.5-2.55.

[njkid32]

Yeah thats where its at:( But I didnt have much time to play with it cuz I wanted to get it crunching:)

[ex2cib]

well, if thats the speed its good then, my venice is at 2.55 and it gets anywhere from 10k-11.2 on benches. just depends on what i have running in the background at the time.

[njkid32]

I also just talked to freecableguy and he didnt know anything about today so he just got his server running Rosetta:)
